For all the people who support Monsanto and any organisation who recklessly and egotistically destroys SOLUM (the soil). You need to look into this matter deeply because when there is a natural disaster you will be implicated in it. Don’t ask me how I know. I just know. There are illnesses out there that will trace themselves back to you and your families. It is called karma and it is high time for these sad people to try to make amends. I personally wish you enligtenment because to be angry at you is but a mistake. I behold your awareness of the truth as the perfect creation of Divine Bounty now. I ask Kali to deal with you kindly. The rest is up to you dear Marshall, dig deep into your soul and ask if you really think chemicals are good.

At present Australian farmers are a long way out in front of others countries that have contaminated their crops with GMOs; but we are on the verge of joining these other foolish countries.

It is ludicrous to suggest that GMOs can coexist with conventional or organic crops – it’s like wanting to be a little bit pregnant. Having owned and operated a seed cleaning business in the 1960s through to the late 1970s, I know it is near impossible to completely clean seed cleaning equipment. I have little doubt that it is a deliberate act to contaminate the seed supply with GMOs, thereby opening the flood gates.

Just because GMOs are in USA, doesn’t mean we have to follow their corrupted system. The patenting process of GMOs has a stench of deceit and corruption. Just watch what happens in USA during the next year. Their financial, health and food systems are about to fold like a deck of cards dropped into the toaster. A nation / community is only as good as its food supply. Look at their rapid rise in food allergies, 50% from 1997 to 2002, since GMOs were clandestinely released in USA. Over 2 million in jail, mass shooting by individuals on psych drugs, obesity, etc – not an exemplary record to boast about! Morgellons Disease is also suspected to be linked to GMOs.

In the 25 years from 1975 to 2000, non-GM soybean seed prices rose a modest 63%. Since 2000, the price of GM soybean seed rose by a whopping 230%. Farmers buying R R 2 soybean seed in 2010 will pay 42% more per bag than they paid in 2009.

The recent release of the figures that indicates a rapid escalation in chemical usage makes an absolute mockery of the argument that GMOs reduce chemical usage.

South African farmers suffered millions of dollars in lost income when 82,000 hectares of genetically-manipulated corn failed abysmally. The plants look lush and healthy from the outside but failed to produce kernels. These farmers could ill afford this devastating loss.

Many thousands of India GM cotton farmers are committing suicide because their Bt cotton crops failed and they are not able to repay the loans taken out to buy the seeds of deception.

Is the consumer crying out for GMO food? – absolutely not so; the well informed consumer is steering well clear of them for good reason – they are not safe.

Someone at some stage thought it was a good idea to let some rabbits run riot across the rural range, then the fox was set free to steal fowl, lambs and native fauna. Additionally, starlings, minors, cane toads, blackberries, etc, etc came out way. Now we can add GMOs to that list of critters or scourges that we were told were good for Australia – absolutely disgraceful and totally irresponsible.

GMOs are dependent on a totally unsustainable production system. No combination of alternative fuels or systems for using them will allow farmers to continue using this high input, noxious chemical method of producing food/fibre crops. GMOs are unsafe, unsustainable, unnecessary and are undoubtedly obsolete.

To be dependent on GMOs with such a narrow varietal base for food production is an invitation to a famine of catastrophic and unprecedented proportions.

All food containing any ingredient derived from GMOs must be labelled, “Contains GMO”. Ideally including the following statement. “The GMO in this product was developed with the aid of a virus/s, bacteria and grown with the aid of toxic chemicals. GMOs have never been independently proven to be safe to grow or consume”.

Instead of peddling false hope with GMOs, there are a multitude of reasons scientists and agronomists must make a concerted effort on lowering food and fibre production inputs and eliminating the dependence on toxic chemicals and the ridiculous notion of using GMOs. There are safe alternatives that actually enhance the soil, sequester carbon and are environmentally friendly – just ask Helen and Hugo.

It is widely acknowledged that toxic chemicals used at any stage in food production, seriously compromise soil biology, beneficial birds, bats and insects and have a detrimental impact on individuals health.
